02x02 - My Mystery Man

[bunniefuu]

Barry: previously on
"welcome to plathville"...

We moved off the farm

And moved to
a beautiful house in cairo.

Unfortunately, not everyone
agrees with the rules

That we've set out
for our household,

So we're divided now
into different households.

Ethan: the house they bought
is 0.3 miles from our house,

But there's no contact between
my parents and me and olivia.

Divorce was definitely
on the table

For a couple
of months.

It just got
to the point of, like,

If this is gonna work,

We're gonna fight
really hard for this

And cut out everything
that doesn't want us to make it.

Hey guys,
it's moriah plath.

My brother and I just started
renting a house.

I'm gonna have pop-tarts
for breakfast.

I hate rules.

That would be awesome.

No, I'm in a towel.

It's been 3 or 4 months
since I've seen my siblings.

Amber.

I want to know what your
love life is like. [ Laughs ]

Kim: I'm really glad
they're here,

But I feel like
I'm walking on eggshells.

Why didn't y'all
prepare us more?

That's my biggest frustration
with how we were raised.

So today I'm in tallahassee
with helena

To do a super hot
and sexy photo sh**t.

I haven't done any shoots in a
while, mainly because of covid,

So I'm super excited
to get back into it.

You broaden your horizon
with every photo sh**t you do.

[ Knocking ]

Hey! What's up?
Hey!

I'm good.
How are you?

Good to see you.
I'm doing good.

You look so pretty.

Aw, thank you.

I met helena on my very first
modeling job last year.

I was still very shy.

Shake it out.
Loosen up.

Whoo!

It's just all about
being yourself.

So I'm very excited
to show her my progress.

It's gonna be a lot of fun.
Pretty interesting.

I've already got
some ideas.

I don't know about you,
but...

Really?
What are your ideas?

[ Laughs ]

Anything hot?
Oh, absolutely.

You got to make it
look good,

And I definitely think we can
accomplish that for sure.

You definitely can.

Oh. [ Laughs ]

You're making me blush.
[ Giggles ]

Um, surprised that you're
so, like, flirtatious

Because when I met you
the first time, you...

I had to like interrogate
you to talk to me,

And you were like, just, like,
short, one-word answers.

And now you're like calling me
hot and beautiful and stuff.

Yeah, a year ago,
I wouldn't have done that.

Growing up, we had
a lot of clothing restrictions.

Like,
when we went to the beach,

We had to wear
pants and t-shirts

Not like a bikini or swim trunks
or a speedo. [ Chuckles ]

My parents find it immodest
to show your body to the world.

You look at where
I'm at now --

In a hotel room
with a super hot girl

About to get
some steamy photos taken.

[ Laughs ]

It's like a 180,
but to me,

I think it's a 180
in a positive direction.

I like this micah. I like
this confident, sexy man

Who's just -- your man now,
like, you're man.

Like, you own it.

When I first met micah,
he was very shy.

Wow.

He definitely changed a lot.

Hey!
Hey! Come on in.

♪♪♪♪

Ta-da!
[ Whistles ]

You like it?

Oh, yeah,
that looks so good.

My tux is black. It would
probably go with yours.

Yeah,
that'd be...

I don't really think
anything else I have...

That'd be hot.

I'm excited.

[ Giggles ]

What you think?

Okay.
[ Giggles ]

Okay.

All right, where do we want
to start first?

That would be a good place
to start,

Then graduate to there
and then to the bed.

Helena: yeah,
I want to...yeah.

He was playful.

He was the same micah
I met a year ago,

Just a lot more confident.

It was oozed off of him.

Look at her.

[ Camera shutter clicks ]

You don't mind me
touching your abs?

No, not at all.

Ever since I was 12,
I wanted to farm

'Cause that's
what I knew about,

That's what I kind
of grew up doing...

[ Laughs ]

I love how you, like,
looked down at them.

You're so proud. You're like,
yeah, you can touch them.

...but now that
I went out into the world

And broadened my horizons,

I want to focus
on other things --

Traveling and modeling.

[ Camera shutter clicking ]

There we go.
That was good shot. [ Chuckles ]

I just looked down,
I was like, oh, no.

That's funny.
[ Chuckles ]

A little bit.

It's, like, little sticky bra

So I can wear something that

Back at the farm,
we had a pool.

So the pool's gonna go from
the farm to the house in town.

[ Chainsaw revving ]

Isaac: so, we're gonna
take a break now?

We're gonna
take another break.

Just isaac's left

So, yeah [chuckles]
I'm taking advantage of it.

You know, it'll be nice
and we have this all cleaned up,

And we can put the pool
into here.

Mm-hmm.

I'm really glad that you're here
helping me.

We make a good team.

Yeah, guess so.
We make a good team.

You know
you're a hard worker.

Yes, sir.
[ Chuckles ]

Barry: we just had the talk
with micah and moriah.

That's kind of fresh
on my mind.

I kind of want to know
why y'all hadn't talked to us

About sexuality,
like, when we were 13, 14.

Please give my younger siblings
a better chance in the world.

When your older children
say,

This is what I found lacking
in your approach

Or what you did do right
or didn't do right,

That hurts as a father.
I take those things to heart.

But now, I have an opportunity
to connect with isaac

In ways that maybe I didn't
with ethan or micah.

Um...so micah's going
through this period

Of -- he's probably dated
a number of girls now,

But you know,
he's in that season...

...of what 16 to 20?

You do a lot of...
You can,

In that period,
end up dating.

You know...

I mean, it's a season
of big change.

I mean look what micah
and moriah have gone through.

I mean, you're --

Mm-hmm.
Right?

In a year and a half.

They have gone through
a lot of change.

Yeah.

Have you talked
to them at all

About the change
that gone through?

Mnh-mnh, not really.
Not much.

But...yeah.

Yeah, I haven't either,
you know, in a casual way.

Haven't had
that conversation, but...

Mm-hmm.

Isaac: this conversation
is really awkward for me.

But, you know,
you're coming up on it.

So is there anything right now
that you're thinking,

"Hey, I have a question
about...this topic."

Uh...

Nothing?

Girls?
You have any questions?

[ Chuckles nervously ]

What about
the opposite sex?

Oh, dear.
I wasn't ready for this.

I thought we were just chopping
down trees. [ Chuckles ]

You'll grow into, you know,
an interest in the opposite sex.

I know right now,
you're really not there.

No.
Not really.

All right.

That'll come in
maybe a year or two.

Yep.
[ Chuckles nervously ]

When I'm talking about girls
with my friends or something,

It's not awkward 'cause,

I don't know,
we do it all the time.

When it was with my dad...
It was kind of awkward

Because, I don't know, he never
really talked to me about that.

Do you think
about that at all?

[ Both laugh ]

Of course,
I'm interested in girls,

But I just don't feel like
talking about it with my dad.

So, you know.

So, any time --
I'm just saying.

Any time.
If you have a question,

You know, whatever
it may be.

Yeah. Yep.
All right?

So, we got to get back
to the task at hand, huh?

Yeah.

I've never wanted to cut down
trees so bad in my whole life.

[ Chuckles ]

Olivia: I'm about to cry,
and it's so stupid,

But my period started
this morning,

And I'm
really hormonal.

Um...

Ethan: growing up,
I never knew

That there was such
a thing as a period.

I thought maybe they had
like a nosebleed or something.

Micah: so I'm modeling
with helena today.

I'm super excited.

sh**ting with different
photographers, different models,

So you broaden your horizon
with every photo sh**t you do.

How about we change it up
and just take some pictures

On the bed?

Cool.

It'll be like play
with the pillows, pillow talk.

Um, it's like...

[ Chuckles ] oh, my gosh.
I feel like --

I don't even know.

I guess it's like
when one person gets frustrated

Because, like, they have
the wrong pillowcases on,

Or the sheets are wrong,

And the bed's messy.

[ Chuckles ]

Yeah, I'm joking.
Don't use that.

After you have...
Intercourse with someone,

When you talk after,
it's, like, called pillow talk.

I had never heard
that before, though.

Well, now you know.

Talking during sex.

I think that's what
was in my mind.

But then, she told me
it was after sex,

And I was like, that makes
a little more sense

'Cause then
it's just pillow talk.

[ Chuckles ]

Mess the bed up
a little bit.

You know,
when I was 13 or 14,

I was in
the ugly duckling stage,

And just, I've always been
very self-conscious

Of, like, my looks,
shy around girls,

Just a shy, little kid.

And then, I started
to grow out of that.

You want to do
some pictures like that,

And then I'll change
into my boxers or something?

Yeah, no worries.

It's kind of funny to see
what I'm doing now.

Now we match.
Yep.

Micah: just tearing down
some walls that, like,

You were
taught to have there

That you realize
aren't necessary.

[ Camera shutter clicks ]

Do want to do it
back to back?

Back to back?
Yeah.

Helena: I'm very proud of him
for taking control

And being as confident
as he was.

It was actually
very attractive.

I was like, okay, micah.

There's definitely
chemistry there.

I mean it's hard
to deny it,

And I'm sure you guys see it,

All right.
So back over here.

Micah: modeling -- it's really
helped me become who I am

And pushed to become
someone better.

It's not a rebellion
against my parents.

It's coming to terms
with myself

And, like, feeling

What are we having
for breakfast?

Um...

I made coffee.
You made coffee?

Mm-hmm.

Ethan: olivia and I
have been cooped up lately,

Just working
on our relationship

And trying to avoid contact
with my parents.

I know micah and moriah
saw them recently,

And they have their own way
of working through their issues

With my parents.
Right now, though,

I just need to work
on focusing on my marriage.

Ethan, I was up
till 1:30 in the morning

Working on my website.

Really?
Yes.

I'm a wedding photographer,
and I've been working

On my website
and brand a lot lately

Because with covid,

I've had brides canceling
left and right

Or scheduling
for next year,

And that means I don't have
a steady income right now.

So I'm taking my downtime
to rebrand

And relaunch my business,
hoping to come back stronger

When covid restrictions
are lifted.

I don't feel like
making breakfast.

Okay.

Can you take care
of yourself this morning?

Why don't
I make you breakfast?

I mean, I've never
made breakfast for you before.

I've actually never made any
meals for you before.

Correct.

Growing up, my mom tried
to teach me how to cook,

But I never cared
for cooking.

I really have no idea
what I'm doing,

But I'm just hoping by trying
I'll earn some brownie points.

So, do you want
to make breakfast?

This is on you.

I'm gonna
make us pancakes.

Um...

Don't tell me
how to do any of this.

I'm gonna figure
it out myself.

I'm not gonna tell you
how to do anything.

I imagine you need eggs
and milk.

Definitely want more juice
with pancakes.

Butter.
I need butter.

Lots of butter.

What else
would you use?

Yeast?

I know
what I'm missing.

Pancake and waffle mix.

[ Bowls clattering ]

What if I made pancakes
with this side,

And then the pancakes
would have a design in them?

I'm trying to work,

I'm sorry to bother you,
but I do have a question.

What?
Why is this lumpy?

They'll cook out,
I'm sure.

You said you weren't asking me
any questions,

And frankly, I don't feel like
I'm in the mood for questions

Because I'm trying to focus
and get this done.

All right. Um...

No, I feel like
it's weird for you

Because when you go to work,
you leave the house in your car,

You go to an office,
you're there all day long,

That's your work,
you come home, you're done.

Mm-hmm.

So, like, how would you feel
if you were working,

And somebody was there talking
to you the whole time

And, like, trying
to make you laugh

And telling jokes
and doing stuff,

But you needed
to finish a project

And get it done
and hone in on that,

And you just
felt like you couldn't?

If I'm working
and someone comes up

And wants to have fun,
that's always better than work.

Well...

I know you thought
this would be fun or funny...

[ Tapping ]

I'm sorry.

[ Tapping continues ]
um...

I know you thought that this
would be, like, funny or fun,

But it's just...all very
irritating for some reason.

I see. Um...

[ Sniffles ] I feel really bad,
like...i'm about to cry.

It's so stupid, but my period
started this morning,

And I'm really hormonal,
and I have stomach cramps,

And I don't feel
like eating carbs.

They're gonna
make me bloat.

And I just...
It's horrible timing, and i...

[ Chuckles ]

Oh, uh, sorry.
I forgot about that.

Um...

Ethan:
growing up as a kid,

I really, really, really,
don't think any of us,

Especially not me,

Were given any type of a tool
set to understand emotions,

Deal with difficult things
in relationships and stuff,

Trying to communicate emotions
with my parents,

That never happened.

You know, that connection
was never made.

I guess my default
is to block things

And just move on and busy myself
with other stuff

So I'm not thinking about maybe
what I should be thinking about.

I'm sorry you had a bad day.
I'm sorry for annoying you.

Olivia: ethan and I working
on our marriage,

Trying to find a way
to help move us forward.

And so, to be able to come
and just me a hug and say like,

"Oh, I'm sorry, and I'm sorry
this wasn't a good time,"

I was really, really
appreciative of that.

You try having a period.
[ Chuckles ] it sucks.

I heard they have those,
like, simulators for guys.

They get hooked up
to wires --

Oh!
I'm gonna buy you one!

I'm gonna buy you one.

And it's also,
like, for labor.

You can see what it would
actually feel like.

Yeah.

Ethan: out of all the kids,
there are 6 girls, 3 boys,

I never knew that there
was such a thing as a period

Until I was dating olivia.

They just kept it to themselves
somehow or the other

With that many girls
in a small house.

I had no idea that [chuckles]
was even the thing.

How did I not ever...

a nosebleed or something.

Okay.

We had a pretty
intense conversation

Can you forgive us for our
shortcomings, perceived or real?

It depends on what your version
of forgiveness is.

We're trying to find
a balance of them

Spending some time
with siblings,

But yet, not so much

That the bitterness
gets passed even more.

So, this is a busy highway.
Make sure it's clear both ways.

I liked him.

And then there was a time

Where I kind of just dropped it,
and it was like,

Okay, I need to, you know,
just forget about that

And just you know
move on with life.

And then, it's taken me
several years

What do you want to do?
Do you want to call him?

I don't really want
to get into anything

Without mommy and
daddy knowing

I would just tell mom,
like, please for my sake,

Put aside your feelings and just
consider your feelings in this.

But then what do I do?
Like...

I would give it a shot.
I would...

Maybe write him a letter
or something.

I don't know, just something
small and simple and sweet.

Like, it doesn't
have to be much.

Just let him know

I don't know what I'm gonna do.
I really want to see him.

I had lydia over.

No, but what's lydia
been up to?

I haven't seen her

The big news is that lydia,

You know the person

two or three years ago?

I think so.
The only one that I know of

That she's liked?

She told me that she's
still interested in him.

Dang.

Lydia has, like,

I got this 1995 suzuki intruder
motorcycle.

I found it in a junkyard,
and the guy noticed

That I was looking
at the bike.

And he told me, "you can have it
for free if you get it running."

I love fixing old cars
and, you know, motorcycles.

My long-term goal is to have it
completely functional.

Olivia and I can take it
on trips

And cruise
around the country.

When I'm working
on an old car,

I'm working on a motor
or my motorcycle,

My entire focus is taken off

Of whatever was bothering me
before,

And I think
that's part of the reason

Why I work on old cars so much
and just work on things so much,

Is because
it's definitely an escape.

That's the magic to me about
fixing things.
}

When it's fixed,
it's fixed.

There's no, like,
mystery about it.

And I just wish I was as good
at fixing relationships

As I am fixing cars...
Or bikes.

Olivia and I have definitely
had our share of rough times,

You know,
in our relationship lately.

I know olivia's frame of mind

By a lot of things that have
happened over the past year.

Right now with covid,

Olivia's had to cancel or
postpone quite a few weddings,

So that's
kind of frustrating.

[ Engine starting ]

There we go.

On top of that,

We're on a no-contact basis
with my parents.

Now let's see what happens
if we add a little bit of gas.

I feel like a lot of the strain
in our relationship

Came from instances

Where I was not standing up
for my wife for having her back.

Growing up,
dating was very wrong.

Just friendship

That's why
I picked ice cream.

good idea.

Not only is max cute,

started messaging you,

It would take, like,

I was, like, wow,

There's no way. So, crazy that
I'm even here right now.

The biggest fault my family has
is communication.

Like, every single one of us
sucks at communicating.

[ Laughs ]

That's what
I'm trying to learn.

I'm trying to teach myself
how to communicate,

But, like...yeah

I'm just bad at it.
You'll have to teach me.

You moved out early,
though.


I had just turned 17
when I moved out.

You're gonna have to tell me
about that.

Um...
[ Sighs ]

I'm kind of scared to tell max
about my past

Because I'm scared that
it'll scare him off, you know.

Like, it's just a fear
of being judged.

Like,
I wasn't in the world.

Like, I've had to learn
all this on my own,

And then it scares me sometimes.
What if I learned it wrong?

You know, what if, like...
I still have so much to learn.

But with max, I definitely just
saw something different in him.

Just that ability
to connect.

So I'm willing to take the
chance 'cause I do like him.

So, I have eight siblings.

Okay. Same.

Really?
[ Laughs ]

Well, there's eight total
including me.

Wow.

And then,
I have two parents.

Uh-oh.
Dun dun dun.

[ Both laugh ]

And what are
your two parents like?

My parents are very...
Um...religious.

They set a lot of rules.
They have a lot of beliefs.

What do you mean
by that, like, beliefs?

Like, I had a list of rules
to follow,

And one of the rules was that
I would have to tell them

Every time
that I went out.

And like I started doing that,
like, that's just respectful.

You should tell your parents
every time you go out.

But then, anytime
that I asked to go out anywhere,

My parents
just said no.

So, then I started
sneaking out

And, like,
that got kind of messy.

[ Chuckles ]
I can imagine.

Yeah, and then, like,
the night that I met you,

That was the night
that my parents told me

I had to leave.

Really?

Wow.

My parents' rules were that
I couldn't learn

The outside world
until I was 18,

But I was craving
to start my own life.

And even though it's
a million times harder out here,

Who wants to live their life
in a bubble?

I like to explain it
as like a wild horse,

You know, like you can't try
and tame it and saddle it up.

You just got to run
at the same pace that it does

And guide it in the right
direction, you know?

I love that.

Moriah: he encouraged me
to find myself

And be who I am.

And I've never had somebody
accept me

And make me feel accepted
the way that he has.

You ready to go?

Yeah.
Let's go.

I feel happy with max.
This is, like, the first time

I've really liked a boy
like this.

Thank you.
Is that it?

Honestly,
I'm kind of scared.

I just feel like it's
a huge gamble with my heart.
